2 General Errors: Cannot print listings but other apps can print (Windows Vista or 7) Right click on PowerSearch shortcut icon. Under compatibility, make sure check for Run as Administrator is unchecked. Record out of range Fatal Error CX00005 when trying to search/download Internal inconsistency error End of file encountered Run Powersearch then click System Maintenance then click Reindex Public Listings. Table is in use Reason: Temporary files cannot be deleted. Solution: Double-click My Computer, in address bar type %temp% and delete all the files there. Make sure you are in the temp folder! This is a temporary solution so he has to do it regularly when the problem reappears. Somehow his account don't have permission to delete those files. Note: If you cannot see Address bar, click view, toolbars then tick Address Bar. If still cannot see, click view, toolbars then untick Lock The Toolbars. Download Error:PS3 xxxxxx.zip or CVX xxxxxx.zip Click on Download Listings then Click Configure Proxy Server, then Click Retrieve proxy settings from Internet Explorer settings, Click ok then Save and Exit. Not a Table/DBF or Index does not match table Run Powersearch then click System Maintenance then click Repair DBF Dyna zip/unzip error Check and update to latest PowerSearch program version if need be. Try again. File already exists error when download listings May be caused because PowerSearch is installed in Program Files folder. Solution: cut and paste hiwire folder into root directory (i.e. C:\) Could not determine serial number Could not determine subscription date Use our account to check if the serial number is valid. If serial number not entered into account, enter and upload serial number Go to Configure Proxy Server -> Retrieve proxy information from Internet Explorer settings -> it will say no proxy is required for this PC -> click ok, save then exit. Then Download Listings again. Else could be problem with firewall Disable firewall or Configure firewall to grant c:\hiwire\powersearch3\powsrch.exe full access. Common firewalls: Norton Internet Security Trend Security Zone Alarm or Zone Lab Windows Security Alert Unable to update cursor (Windows Vista or 7) Cause: After installing, running Powersearch caused this error. Solution: Right-click on Powersearch3 icon and click on Run as Administrator. This needs to be done once only. Then run Powersearch as usual. If using Windows XP, go to C:\Hiwire, right click on it and select "properties", then unselect read only and apply to subfolders and files. If still cannot, could be because no administrator rights. Right click run as administrator then key in password. In Windows XP Pro, the Administrator account is not listed on the login screen, unless it's the only account on the machine. You can still log into it, though... by rebooting into 'Safe Mode'. Press F8 when Windows begins to boot, and you'll be given a list of boot options, one of which is 'Safe Mode'. Select that, and the 'Administrator' account will appear on the login screen. From here it's easy. Once you've signed in as 'Administrator': Right-click on My Computer

3 Click on Manage Expand Local Users and Groups Click on Groups Double click on Administrators Click on Add Enter the account name on this machine that you want to assign administrative privileges to. OK your way back out. Now reboot your machine normally, and the account you selected should now have administrative access. Foxpro support library not found Cause: They probably copied from CDROM but some system dll files are not copied. Solution: Ask him to install from CDROM instead of copying. 403 Forbidden Cause: During download, Windows Vista denies access to Internet by other applications. Solution: Right click on Powersearch3 icon and click Run as administrator. Socket Error #11004 Cause: DNS problem/ internet connection problem Solution: Make sure the address you are trying to connect to is typed correctly. - Click on change internet access to dyna under Configure Proxy Server in Download Listings window. - If you are trying to connect with a domain name try with its IP number instead. (ping the domain name from command prompt to get its IP address.) - Make sure your firewall, anti-virus or any other security program is not blocking the connection or port the program is using. 404 File Not Found Cause: No internet access. Eg. Starhub cable modem did not pay subscription or terminated. Starhub cable modem don t pay also can go to yahoo.com and gov.sg sites. Solution: Try access If no access- need to get internet working first. For Windows Vista and using starhub connection, double click on Network Connections icon on bottom right screen. Then click on View Status. Next, click on Internet Protocol Ver 4. Click Properties. Change DNS server (preferred) and (alternate). Download Fail Error Cause: Due to Internet connection or Firewall. Solution: Change internet access to Dyna. If still cannot, need to add program to Firewall settings to allow access.
